Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Edgewood
The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. The severe-burden share is 26%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.
Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.4/10. The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. It sits 1.1 points above the DeKalb County average of 4.5.
The filing record is not thin: 610 evictions over 8 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2013, when 19.9% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 14.1% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 73rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
